    Comparing The Odyssey And Siren Song

    Homer’ s story The Odyssey tells of a triumphant hero named Odysseus and how his heroism saves his entire crew from the sirens. On the other hand, (“O Brother Where Art Thou”?) is not about bravery, but about being under the influence of the women's beauty and magical alcohol.

    Similarities Between The Odyssey And O Brother Where Art Thou

    The fictional queen of Ithaca and and a woman in 1930’s Mississippi having anything in common might seem like a stretch but in fact, they are more similar than they seem at first glance. Penelope of The Odyssey and Penny of O Brother, Where Art Thou have much in common along with characteristics that set them apart from each other. Penelope is presented as loyal, distraught. Penny is presented as unapologetic and a more independent, strong woman when being compared to Penelope. The two women are similar in that they are both cunning and cautious. Many of these changes are made in order to allow the character to blend into the time period and, in the case of Penny, to create a stronger, more realistic female character.…

    The Heroism Of Penelope In Homer's The Odyssey

    In the vast tellings of Homer’s The Odyssey, many character comparisons can be made. Few are more pressing however, than the heroism of Odysseus and his wife, Penelope. Although both Penelope and Odysseus displayed heroic characteristics in The Odyssey, Odysseus was more of a hero than his wife was in the epic. Penelope, while somewhat of a heroine, simply was not depicted by Homer to be the hero that her husband was.…

    Comparing Heroes In The Canterbury Tales And The Odyssey

    In the Odyssey, Odysseus has been portrayed as a war hero. His characteristics on the other hand, portray a villain. In Book 9, Odysseus stole Polyphemus’ sheep, as well as blinded him. Polyphemus was considered a villain when he held Odysseus captive, yet Odysseus was still a hero when he stole his sheep in the first place. This shows that heroes gained their glory by taking over other regions. Heroes sacked cities, heroes attacked the innocent, heroes fought for what they thought was right. The time period the Odyssey took place revolved around fighting. As a result, the heroes were then based on who ever sacked more cities, not an impact of the greater good. All in all, a hero is shaped through portrayal and the time period.…

    Odysseus Is Not A Hero Analysis

    Odysseus was not a hero because he let his own mother die. When Odysseus was in his return from Troy(adventures), he was away for a long period of time,but as his mother grew older every day he was making it harder for his mother to live. He was the cause why his mother died making her sad,lonely, and she worrying for her son Odysseus. It is a lot of pressure for a mother to not know if her son is still alive or not, making it hard for her to be calm (always worried). “My own end happened this way: heaven did not take me swiftly and…

    Robin Hood: Hero Or Criminal?

    Many people consider Robin Hood a hero. He was definitely a hero to the peasants of Nottingham. After all he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. If I were poor he would have been my hero, too. But to the rich people of Nottingham he was nothing more than a criminal. I'm sure I wouldn't think too highly of someone that stole my money. What Robin Hood never took into consideration was that even though the outcome was good the course of action he took wasn't right. So was he a hero or a criminal? Some people consider him a kind hearted hero. Others think of him as a cold hearted criminal. So which is it? It all depends on your perspective.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Robin Hood

    The Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “justice” as “the quality of being just, impartial, or fair” (Webster’s Dictionary). Robin Hood fulfills this definition. Even though Robin Hood tricks people into deals, he is still fair. He does not just take the money from his visitors, he gives them a grand meal and shows in exchange for their money. Robin never missed the chance to help someone in need. An example is when Sir Richard of Lea, tells Robin that he owes some money to the Priory of Emmet. If he did not pay he would lose his castle, Robin Hood helps Richard by tricking the Priory of Emmet into accepting a smaller price. This mission was successful and Robin Hood helped Richard be regaining his castle. Many people might say that it…
